Seattle’s steep hills, dense downtown, bridge choke points and high-speed corridors like Aurora Avenue and Rainier Avenue South produce a steady stream of serious crashes — and some of the state’s worst stretches for pedestrians and cyclists.
When a vehicle hits a person on foot — in a crosswalk, at a bus stop, or walking along a road with no sidewalk — the injuries are almost always severe, and hit-and-run drivers are tragically common.
If it happened to you or a loved one on Interstate 5, Interstate 90, SR 99 (Aurora Avenue), SR 520 and Rainier Avenue South — or anywhere in Seattle — a pedestrian accident lawyer in Seattle from Beverly Law can step in immediately: we preserve the evidence, obtain the police report, deal with every insurance company, and fight for the full compensation the law allows, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and property damage.
